The Boys- Apprentice

The Calm Life

The day started a little differently than usual. I flew to work, but outside of the building I was ambushed by reporters asking questions about Starlight's speech last night. I tried to respond to the questions as well as I could. Saying things like Starlight has my best wishes and that I had no idea what she meant when she talked about being, well, raped.

That was basically the only exciting thing that happened that day, well, more like that month which was good as that meant I could finally work on buying myself an actual house. I met up with a realter and started looking at properties. After a few hours I finally managed to find a house that I really liked. It was three stories high, had 80 acres of property around it that I would own, and was in the middle of nowhere. The mansion was out of the city, had its own little lake on it, and was awesome. It was basically the world's best mancave. The fact that I didn't have to worry about driving to work is the only reason I could get it. Flying has a way of taking care of those minor problems. I also called in some people to install a well and some solar panels on the roof of the house so it would be totally self-sustaining.

Moving into the place was as amazing as I thought it would be. I called up my family to tell them about it and my dad was a little jealous. We would always talk to each other about moving out into the middle of nowhere and living totally outside of civilization. Well, I had achieved that wish.

Other than the new house everything else on the personal front seemed to be going uphill, the money was finally starting to flow in. I now had two million dollars in my bank account. This was after buying the house. 

On the other fronts though, well, everything was not going so peachy. I haven't seen Translucent since our first meeting and no one will tell me anything about where he is. There have also been allegations that The Deep raped Starlight, which was more than a little bewildering considering the fact that the man was someone I had always looked up to. When he came out and basically admitted to the fact, well, I lost all of my respect for the man. He was later kicked off of the team, which means there was an opening on the board. Nothing has been said yet, but I'm thinking I might be let into the 7.

The only real thing I did this month, other than a few missions with Queen Maeve, which were awesome, was participate in what seemed to be a recording of our origin stories. Everyone on the 7 was doing them, and I guess since I'm Maeve's apprentice, that means I had to do one too. 

Making it wasn't too bad, I stayed pretty honest about my life story and what inspired me to become a superhero. What was nice about doing this is that it was shot in Texas where I met up with my parents and sister. They were also included in the documentary about my life. My life was basically aired on television, which luckily wasn't that bad. My life has been pretty secret and problem free as far as I can tell. This also seemed to relieve some of the people at Vought as they didn't have to, cover for me, as they put it.

So this month was pretty calm, I got a new man cave. I got a lot of money in the bank, I got to meet up with my family, and I have basically stabilized my work life by proving to be competent. Life was pretty perfect as far
